Position Papers
Traffic Safety - Traffic Management - Congestion Relief
There's a major problem with traffic in the City of Santa Clarita, and it's getting worse, but with planinning and modifications, the problem can be resolved.
Health and Safety for the Santa Clarita Valley
There's only one hospital in the Santa Clarita Valley, and it does not meet the needs of maturing city. Santa Clarita needs another full service hospital central to the entire valley.
Disaster Preparedness for the City of Santa Clarita
The City of Santa Clarita is in a location which, in the event of a major Earthquake, Firestorm, or Natural or Human Disaster, could become an isolated community for a period of time. There needs to be a plan to provide for the health and safety of the people until normal is restored.
